Can Wolves’ FPL assets perform as well in 2019/20?

Wolverhampton Wanderers were one of the big success stories of last season, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s impressive side finishing seventh in their first Premier League campaign in six years.

The West Midlands club offered Fantasy managers some notable bargain buys, with Matt Doherty (£6.0m), Diogo Jota (£6.5m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) the three stand-out assets.

Doherty, Jimenez and several others have been handed price rises in Fantasy Premier League this summer, however, and aren’t quite the cut-price gems they were 12 months ago.

Do Wolves players still appeal, then, going into 2019/20?

Our 20th and final Numbers Game piece looks at Wanderers’ underlying data from last season to see if the numbers of 2018/19 can be repeated in the upcoming campaign.

    Any anticipated shake-up for Leicester midfield with signing of Praet? Currently on both Tielemans and Pérez . Cheers for any opinions

      Praet will quite probably challenge for the two mid spots currently occupied by Tielemans and Maddison. He's a quality player so will eventually start imo, but not straight away.

      It's also possible that they all play in a diamond midfield with Perez and Vardy up top.

  3. super zlatan

    Pope or Heaton ?

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      On Pope currently and Fabianski as sub..

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Heaton for the short term or just get both.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Pope

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Both for rotation

  4. Lion-O

    How does defensive midfielder Besic affect defender Lundstram?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lundstram was a bad pick, now he's even worse 🙂

    2. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      as far as I am aware Lundstram ain't nailed on anyways, probably just puts him even further down in the pecking order.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lundstram was playing OOP in midfield so Besic will take his place probably from GW2 onwards it seems

    4. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lundstram has been erroneously classified as a footballer by the fpl towers.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      the end of lundstram

  5. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Signed sealed delivered 100 points.

    Hendo
    Robo VVD Digne Dunk/Montoya
    Salah Sterl Robinson Perez
    Aubameyang Wesley
    (Stek, Diop, Greenwood, Dendonk)

    Decent enough bench cover as well as 0.5 itb for Wesley to an emerging 6.5 or Robinson to a 6.0m if fails. Also Aubam to Wilson, Perez to Pepe/Son possible etc.

      Too much Sheffield United.

    2. yanky
      • 14 Years

      not thinking of using .5 to do wesley to king nkw? surely a better starter for opening gwks

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Nah, don't like King in first place never mind against my team

      Really nice and I like that you’ve already prepared yourself in the event that any of your punts don’t come off... GL

    No one is mentioning Drinkwater... will he get in the first team at Burnley? Only 4.5

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      One to watch, prefer Dendoncker and Hayden for now.

  7. NotsoSpursy
    • 7 Years

    Ake a good shout @5m?
    anyone else?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zouma

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Might be the best at that price, the Bournemouth defence is not the most reliable though.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It's a feast or famine with them. Had 10 clean sheets last year but still conceded 70 goals ( Worst of any team not relegated )

    3. nach248
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Was, but no longer, zouma @5m now is

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Forgot about Zouma, will he be first choice alongside Rudiger when he’s back though?

  8. yanky
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    a) Moura + King vs Jota + Fraser
    b) Pope Heaton vs Pope Button bank 0.5

  9. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Evening all perez and dunk or barkley and zouma much appreciated

  10. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Marks out of 10 for this little lot? Tinkered with the idea of KDB but decided on Laporte at the back instead.

    Pope (Heaton)
    Robbo, VVD, Laporte, Digne (Rico)
    Salah, Sterling, Siggy, Perez (Dendoncker)
    Jota, King (Greenwood)

    Genuinely cannot see a weakness other than King but he can be swapped when it’s clear who the 6m-or-less bargain striker is.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Soon you'll want a forward 8m or more.

  11. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So, which 5.0 - 5.5 defenders are currently in your team?

    1. olly:)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      none. TAA, VVD 4.5 4.5 4.0 3atb

    2. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Coleman + AMN but don't really like any in this price range.

  12. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Maybe I think I can hold a couple of GWs before jumping on KDB train,

    Feedback please?

    Pope
    VVD Robertson Chenko Digne
    Perez Lucas Sterling Salah
    Wilson King

    Button Dendoncker Lundstram Greenwood

    0.5 itb

    Cheers mates!

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mo, Raz, Ayoze, Donck, ___

  16. Nespinha

    am I that crazy to think its a good team, especially from gw2 onwards?

    Pope
    Robertson, VVD, Zouma
    Salah, KDB, Siggy, Buendia
    Aguero, King, Wesley

  17. DivocksHighSocks
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I may have cracked it

    Pope/Heaton
    TAA - VVD (though will go Laporte if fit) - Soyuncu - (Fredericks) - (Rico)
    Salah - Sterling - KDB - Perez - Barkley
    King - Kean - (Greenwood)

    yay or nay?

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA Robertson Dinge KWP (Rico)
    Salah KDB Moura Perez (Dendo)
    Auba King (Greenwood)

    Perez to McGinn/Robinson to upgrade KWP and bench? Y or N?

    Thoughts on this team please.

    Pope
    TAA/Digne/Zouma/Montoya
    Salah/Sterling/Fraser/Perez
    Kane/Jota

    Button/Rico/Drinkwater/Greenwood

    1. SH
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Good to go! Is Zouma sure starter?

      1. Danny_100
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I think he is whilst Rudiger is out.

  20. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    With Luiz gone is Zouma nailed-on?

    1. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm seriously considering as Frank talked him up and kept him so obviously reckons him. Not sure KWP might be a better bet though?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Poch likes rotating his fullbacks so he's a no for me.

        1. shirtless
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Trippier gone, Aurier injured though..

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Aurier ain't great either. Giving me food for thought. I'm begginning to doubt Bissaka now. Not him as much as United's defence and their midfield not leaving them much peotection. Maguire isn't bad but he can't fix everything.

      2. SH
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        KWP for now, will switch to Zouma if the secure his spot.

  21. kj3llern
    • 8 Years

    Which 4.0 goalkeeper is plausible to start this weekend?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      None of them.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Forget about it, there are none available

  22. Tikka Mo Firmino
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How does this look for a Salah,Sterling, KDB side?

    Pope
    Robertson Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling KDB Trossard
    Wilson Ings Wesley

    Button Guilbert Dendoncker Lundstram

  23. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Quick vote on these chaps.?

    King or Perez? (Have Tielemans & Wilson)
    Zouma, KWP or Ake? Or any other 5.0?

    1. SH
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      KWP for now, switch to Zouma after United away if he is starting.

      1. shirtless
